Oral health is essential to wellness: Cavity-free teeth and healthy gums are less prone to infection and disease. Bacteria can’t easily multiply and weaken the immune system of someone who makes it a point to practice oral hygiene.

A person who brushes his teeth regularly can smile and laugh more freely, and he has more confidence to show off those pearly whites and make as many friends as possible.

Hidden dangers

But sometimes, hidden dangers lurk in the innocent-looking toothpaste tube a person squeezes three times a day after a meal.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) banned the chemical triclosan in over-the-counter antiseptic soaps, gels, and wipes because research has shown that it can disturb hormones in animals and humans, contribute to antibiotic resistance and harm organisms in the water.

To prove this, the research team replicated the act of tooth-brushing using various commercial brushes and toothpaste. They found out that more than one-third of the 22 toothbrushes tested had triclosan. This amounted to seven to 12 doses of the volume used for every tooth-brushing.

100% organic essential oil sets now available for your home and personal care, including Rosemary, Oregano, Eucalyptus, Tea Tree, Clary Sage and more, all 100% organic and laboratory tested for safety. A multitude of uses, from stress reduction to topical first aid. See the complete listing here, and help support this news site.

Also, toothbrushes with “polishing cups” or cheek/tongue cleaners with elastomers, have the largest amounts of triclosan.

Dispensing triclosan in toothpaste, but using the same brushes is useless as well. Researchers found that the chemical stayed on the toothbrushes for the two weeks.

This could prolong the user’s exposure to triclosan and its dangerous effects.

Meanwhile, the research raised more questions about the design of consumer products — especially those for personal care — with absorptive polymer elements for use as chemicals.

Dental care

The study only emphasized the need to be more conscious about dental care and what we put into our mouths. But the fact remains that healthy teeth and gums can help us fight harmful substances that enter our system, including triclosan.
